Chapter 899 Dongling's Doubts.
Gan Niangzi's expression was really strange at this moment. She still had a smile on her face, but she heard Li San Niang say that even if the poison was removed, it would still be bad for Feng Niangzi's health, shorten her lifespan, and hinder her ability to have children.
Therefore, sadness and worry were mixed on her face again.
"Dr. Li, let's forget about the potential harm to having children. At worst, we can just have Fengniang go to the orphanage and bring back a child."
But, does this shorten one's lifespan?
"Does my beloved Fengniang not live to old age?"
Li San Niang quickly shook her head at Gan Niangzi, and then explained to her directly: "Lifespan is determined by fate. Only Heaven knows how long a person will live."
What I mean by shortening her lifespan is that the poison I gave her will weaken her body, making her more prone to illness than the average person, and at the very least, she will live several years less than a healthy person.
But I must tell you upfront, this is truly the first time I've ever used poison to treat such a young child. Poisoning and medicine are not separate arts, but ultimately both harm the body. Please think carefully.”
Gan Niangzi was now in a real bind. She had thought her youngest daughter was beyond saving, but Wang Yue's mention of Li San Niang gave her renewed hope.
Having seen Li San Niang and heard her say this, Gan Niangzi really didn't know what to do.
"Should we treat Fengniang's illness by poisoning her?"
Or should we just let that thing grow inside Fengniang's belly until the day she can't live anymore?
Li San Niang naturally noticed Gan Niangzi's helplessness and dilemma. She said softly to Gan Niangzi, "I know this matter cannot be figured out in a short time. Here, I will first write a prescription to relieve Feng Niang's discomfort."
What should be done to treat it afterward?
It might be incurable. Go home and think it over carefully.
If you want treatment, find some time to go to the maternity ward and tell the people there. Leave a message, and once I receive it, I will have you come to me again so I can give Fengniang the medicine to cure her.
Do you think this is feasible?
Lady Gan walked out of the tent, looking lost and dejected. She took Lady Feng's hand and led her away from the medical tent to go home.
After seeing off Gan Niangzi and her daughter Feng Niang, today's free clinic was almost over.
Manager Li and the other managers were busy outside, while Li San Niang, along with Song Fu Ling, Qiu Xiang, Wang Yue, and Dong Ling, stayed inside the tent and sat down.
Li San Niang took a big gulp of tea. She had been so busy today that she hadn't had a moment to spare. She had just been treating the poisoned girl and Feng Niang. Now she could finally sit down and have a good cup of tea.
Having quenched her thirst, Li San Niang began her routine inquiry about the day's free clinic.
The group chatted about the free clinic for about fifteen minutes. When Li Sanniang saw that Dongling clearly had something to ask, she smiled and said to her, "You silly girl, just ask if you want to. You can only learn skills if you are not ashamed to ask questions."
Dong Ling first lowered her head and smiled shyly, then looked up at Li San Niang and asked, "Medical Supervisor, why did you tell that lady that you didn't have to treat Feng Niang?"
I know that anything a doctor says is at least 70-80% accurate.
Moreover, the medical supervisor is highly skilled. Since the method of treatment can be described by the medical supervisor, he must be 80% or 90% confident in its effectiveness.
In that case, Fengniang should have listened to the medical supervisor and come to get treatment as soon as possible.
But then the medical supervisor said those things… Is it because they're afraid of taking responsibility?
Dong Ling boldly said these words, but then she became somewhat frightened. She turned to look at Wang Yue with her tender, lamb-like eyes, which made Wang Yue feel very sorry for her and reminded her of her younger sister at home.
Therefore, Wang Yue quickly chimed in: "Medical Supervisor, Dong Ling wasn't questioning your words. She's just been by my side these past few days and has never seen me speak to patients like this before. She was curious, which is why she asked you that question."
Medical supervision is not allowed...
Li San Niang raised her hand and waved to Wang Yue. Wang Yue didn't finish her sentence. Seeing that Wang Yue was silent, Li San Niang smiled and said, "Oh, don't be nervous, don't be nervous. We're just sitting together and chatting. Why make it so serious?"
It's alright. I'm actually happy that Dongling asked the question. It shows that Dongling has really thought about it, which is a good thing.
In our maternity ward, whether you are a female doctor, a female physician, or an apprentice, feel free to ask us any questions or anything you don't understand.
Asking more questions will help us develop our skills and make our obstetrics and gynecology clinic better and better.
Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Although she knew in her heart that Li San Niang was not the kind of person who would not accept questions or criticism, she still felt more at ease after hearing Li San Niang's explanation.
Dongling, now perceptive, immediately said, "Thank you for not blaming me, Medical Supervisor. I will study hard and become a full-fledged female doctor as soon as possible, so that I can contribute to our Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic!"
Li San Niang nodded to Dong Ling, then looked at Wang Yue: "What Dong Ling doesn't understand is what we doctors understand best."
"I would like to trouble Dr. Wang to answer Dongling's question."
Wang Yue was not surprised by Li San Niang's words at all, because in the maternity ward, there was a female doctor with two female doctors. One was a skilled female doctor from the Imperial Hospital, and the other was a female apprentice with medicine-making skills recruited from outside.
According to the rules of the maternity ward, female doctors and female physicians are bound together and work together when they are in the maternity ward.
In this sense, female doctors have a duty to teach female doctors on a daily basis. This is not to say that they want female doctors to become female doctors, but because female doctors are already very tired from seeing patients every day. Other tasks such as dispensing medicine, remembering patients' interpersonal relationships, and taking care of patients who stay at the clinic are all the female doctors' responsibilities.
Therefore, Wang Yue pulled Dong Ling's hand, which was sitting next to her, and patted it twice before slowly explaining to her.
"Even if you are 80% or 90% sure, or even 100% sure, you can't tell the patient that."
As the medical supervisor said, only God knows how long this person will live.
As a doctor, my job is simply to treat patients and help them relieve their suffering within my capabilities so that they can live a good life.
But this cannot make decisions for the patient!
If Lady Gan felt that Feng Niang's inability to have children in the future would be a great regret, she might choose not to cure Feng Niang's illness, but simply keep her alive so that she could ascend to paradise sooner.
Or perhaps, Lady Gan couldn't accept that her health was already inferior to others, and that treating her illness would require poisoning, making her even weaker and sicker, requiring her to spend even more time caring for Feng Niang, and costing a lot of money, all while Feng Niang would still have a short lifespan. This might have led Lady Gan to refuse to poison Feng Niang to treat her illness.
If the medical supervisor doesn't make this clear today, then in the future, if Feng Niang experiences even the slightest problem, Gan Niangzi will blame the medical supervisor to some extent.
"Gan Niangzi is a woman; if a strong man were to become dissatisfied, wouldn't the physician be in danger?"
